Science & Religion: Ideological Partnership
Philosophy Podium: Science & Religion: Ideological Partnership
“A conspiracy is always a scary thing unless you are part of it.” This is what my grandfather always said. As people of this world, we are so used to being on the losing side of every conspiracy that we are no longer surprised to see another institution or a religious organisation that makes exploiting us its reason for existence. This is maybe what we have come to call the new era of modernization. Apparently, societies of pre-modernization times knew how to protect the weak and the dispossessed since those societies allowed the weak and dispossessed to survive until today. Now that the modern world has arrived with its groups of professional con artists and those who fish in troubled waters, we can start crying for our weak ones and our dispossessed ones.
The new society is not here to protect those who do not know how to exploit their neighbors. Moral and spiritual values, which have enabled all of us to survive, have themselves become victims of the intellectual conning by spiritual organisations and by leaders of ideological groups. It is the law of the jungle that rules today. Many statesmen became famous for announcing to people, who were preoccupied with entrusting their destiny into the hands of the new leaders, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.” They said this so as to wake all of us up from our illusion that the new society will protect us. The new state will protect you only on the condition that you are rich enough to buy its protection or on the condition that you are part of the small circle of the leaders of the system.
This logic has become the new philosophical bedrock: it determines the values and reasons behind the new march of human intelligence. Whatever the new system wants is what the religions will obediently preach as a form of a divine truth, just as science will also try to bring its loyal “logical” and “intellectual” explanation to justify what the political system wants! This is the shocking part of what is happening to us. Science and the school will educate, or, let’s say, will reshape and predispose us to accept some logics and then to reject other logics, thus turning us into biological machines that are easier to manipulate. The modern system of education will transform us into beings that are so predictable that the individual becomes the only entity who sees himself/herself as a human being.
For a long time we thought that the so-called scientific community wanted to liberate humanity from obscurantism and from the dictatorship of ignorance. Scientific ideology once won the sympathy of people by presenting itself as the victim of Christian barbarism. For many decades scientific ideology stood in opposition to religious doctrines, making it simply the other side of the coin. This situation did not last long. Eventually, science collaborated for a very long time with religious doctrines, especially in domains that have social implications; then science became the instrument par excellence of religious and political propaganda led by interest groups.
In October 1584, after the Julian calendar placed the Vatican in an impasse, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced and was supposed to be precise; this was at a time when the Vatican had not yet succeeded in understanding how clocks brought out of the Nile Valley worked! And until today, the academic system still explains that a leap year exists because the year is exactly 365 days and 6 hours, making the fourth year the year of 366 days. Science declares the accuracy of this notion while we still, even today, don’t know the exact distance between the Earth and the Sun!
We have heard astronomers brag that we perfected our method of telling time; yet the leap year is already 113,000 years old, having been in use since the birth of the Sidereal Calendar, which, for accuracy, is based on the conjunction between the sun and the Sothis star in the Orion constellation. And the Sidereal approach to time is the only one that offers the 366th day of the leap year. Without the Sidereal approach to time, it remains practically impossible to set the exact cycle of the Earth around the sun, even today! Today for the first time, science and religion have found a field for collaboration: how to lead people to accept the result of an intellectual procedure while at the same time rejecting the logic that conceived/discovered the intellectual procedure.
The astronomical truth is that a lunar year (one based on a lunar cycle) lasts around 18 years, meaning 18 seasonal cycles, while a solar year (one based on a solar cycle) will last around 56 seasonal cycles. That fact leaves modern astronomy unable to explain where the 365 or 366 days come from, the same 365 or 366 days that modern science boasts that it can calculate exactly.
The calculation of the cycle of the Heliacal Rising, as an astronomical event born from the eclipse of the Sothis star and the sun in the rhythm of 1461 years, has been performed for 113,000 years. And it is that cycle that produced the smaller cycle of 1461 days called the medium year or Renpit. The Renpit is composed of three cycles of 365 days and one cycle of 366 days.
The new explanation, which simply insults our intelligence, is not the deliberate effort of science to expose its own ignorance; instead, the new explanation is the result of the collaboration between two ideologies to keep people ignorant. It would be an error to believe that these ideologies are intended to keep us enlightened; these ideologies see everything in the context of whatever is practical and advantageous for the groups that are fighting to control this world.
If we want to survive, we don’t have any choice other than to maintain our own spiritual and intellectual vigilance. Sidereal Calendars are produced and distributed by the Earth Center. We can all have one as a symbol of our honest search for the truth about time and space.
